ible fire, finally reached the schooner; but, finding her aground, made a breastwork of her and opened a deadly fire, which, with the assistance of a few shots from our long-range gun, drove the enemy back to a distant cover with loss, and the boats, after firing the schooner, returned without further molestation. Acting-master Furness estimates the loss of the rebels to be at least eight in killed and wounded, as he saw that number carried off. Our loss was one seriously wounded, Acting-master Hooker, and three very slightly. I have but praise to bestow on those engaged in the boats for their coolness and intrepidity when assailed by such overwhelming odds. They were yet some three hundred yards from the schooner when fired upon, but they preferred pushing on and returning through it, rather than fail in accomplishing their object. During the reconnoissance, last night, two of their despatch sloops were captured. A. Murray, Lieutenant Commanding. Flag-officer L. N. Goldsboro

ire subsided, I judge that the quantity of stores must have been considerable. The enemy fired but a few musket shot. I am, very respectfully, &c., R. H. Wyman, U. S. N., Lieutenant-Commanding Potomac Flotilla. The correspondent with General Hooker's Division, near Budd's Ferry, says of this affair: December 9, 1861. The lower Potomac was enlivened this morning by the gunboats of the upper flotilla shelling the woods and burning the buildings at Freestone Point, while about the same time there was a fine review of New Jersey troops on the Maryland side. At nine o'clock in the morning the New Jersey Brigade, recently arrived in General Hooker's Division, was reviewed and inspected by him. The day was one of the finest ever known in Maryland at this season. It was like a delightful day of the early Indian summer. The brigade, consisting of the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth regiments, is under command of Colonel Starr, of the Fifth, an officer of extensive experie
